World Cup: Vladimir Samsonov-Xu Xin

And there we see Zhuzhin right around the forehand. The backhand wide on the forehand. On Zhuzhin's side, looking as though he could make the final. I have to say, at this point of the rally, I'm backing Zhuzhin. Full marks to Samsonov. Constructed the point of three, Samsonov leads. In charge at the moment. Continuous is in fine form at the moment. The next point is a good rule of thumb for any young players. Makes an error with the forehand topspin. Certainly in charge of affairs at the moment. Of him. Finishes up above his head, the racket. It's a long stroke. Barely changing. 6-3. Here in the rallies, then, you have a massive... Managed to... Wonderful technique. Zhuzhin's forehand. 9-7. Straight down the line. Even more aggressive. Variation on winning the point. Fourth game. Who would have thought it? Samsonov with... 9-0 lead. I suspect we will have... Oh, he can't beat him in... Zhuzhin serving. Start of the fifth game. As well as your opponent allows you. And Samsonov has been quite superb so far in this match. The crowd adopting Vladimir Samsonov, the European player. Points. 6-3. Point to Drift. Samsonov, 5-6. Dominates. Followed by Asia, followed by Europe. It doesn't matter which country you play table tennis in. There's always a group of Chinese come to support. 3-1. The one with sidespin going out. Appropriate thing. Point to Vladimir Samsonov. Third, fourth playoff. He's going the way of Europe.
